Genesis 45
1 Joseph loe a taengah kangdoe kaminawk hmaa ah angsum thai ai boeh pongah, Kai khae hoi kalah bang caeh o boih ah, tiah a hang; to naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah angmah hoi angmah to taphong, to naah a taengah mi doeh om ai.
Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood before him, so he cried out, "Send everyone away from me." So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 Tha hoi a qah pongah, Izip kaminawk hoi Faro imthung takohnawk mah doeh thaih o.
And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
3 Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Kai loe Joseph ni! Pa to hing vop maw? tiah a naa. Toe amyanawk loe, Anih hmaa ah poek anghmang o sut pongah, lok pathim pae o ai.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?" But his brothers couldn't answer him, for they were terrified at his presence.
4 To naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Ka taengah angzo oh, tiah a naa. Nihcae loe caeh o. Anih mah, Kai loe Izip prae ah nang zawh o ih, nangcae ih amnawk Joseph ni!
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." So they moved closer. And he said, "I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 To pongah kai nang zawh o pongah vaihi palungsae o sak hmah loe, palung doeh phui o hmah; hinghaih pahlong han ih ni hae ahmuen ah Sithaw mah kai ang patoeh hmaloe.
Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Vaihi prae thungah khokhahaih saning hnetto oh boeh, hmabang saning pangato thung mi mah doeh lawk sah mak ai ueloe, cang doeh aat o mak ai.
For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 Toe long ah kanghmat nangcae to hingsak moe, kalen parai pahlonghaih hoiah nangcae to loisak hanah, Sithaw mah hae ahmuen ah kai hae ang patoeh boeh.
God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 To pongah kai haeah patoehkung loe nangcae na ai, Sithaw ni; anih mah Faro to ampa ah ang sak pae, a imthung takoh boih ih angraeng ah ang suek moe, Izip prae boih ukkung ah ang sak.
So now, it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Kam pa khaeah karangah caeh oh loe, anih khaeah, Na capa Joseph mah, Kai loe Sithaw mah Izip prae thung boih ukkung angraeng ah ang sak boeh; akra ai ah, kai khaeah angzo tathuk ah, tiah a thuih;
Now hurry and go up to my father and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Do not delay.
10 kaimah hoi kazoi ahmuen, Goshen prae ah khosah oh, nangmah hoi na caanawk, na caanawk patoeng, maitawnawk, tuunawk hoi na tawnh ih hmuennawk to sin o boih ah;
You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and everything that you have.
11 kai mah kang pacah o han hmang, saning pangato thung khokha vop tih; to tih ai nahaeloe nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih, na tawnh ih hmuennawk boih anghmaa tih, tiah thui pae oh.
There I will provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, otherwise you and your household and all that you have would become destitute.
12 Khenah, nangcae hoi kam nawk Benjamin mikhnuk ah, ka pakha hoiah kang thuih o ih lok to na thaih o boeh.
Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
13 Izip prae ah ka lensawkhaih hoi na hnuk o ih hmuennawk boih, kam pa khaeah thui pae oh; karangah caeh oh loe, kam pa to haeah angzo o haih ah, tiah a naa.
So you must tell my father about all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. But you must hurry and bring my father down here."
14 To pacoengah amnawk Benjamin to takop moe, a qah; Benjamin mah doeh anih to takop moe, qah;
Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
15 to pacoengah amyanawk boih to a mok moe, a qah; to pacoengah amyanawk hoiah lok apaeh o.
And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
16 Joseph ih amyanawk angzoh o ti, tiah Faro imthung takoh mah thaih naah, Faro hoi a tamnanawk boih poeknawm o.
Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Nam yannawk khaeah, hae tiah thui paeh loe, hae tiah sahsak ah; laa hrang hoiah hmuennawk to phaw o sak ah loe, Kanaan prae ah amlaemsak ah;
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
18 nam pa hoi imthung takoh kaminawk to kai khaeah angzosak ah; Izip prae thungah kahoih koek prae to kang paek han, prae kathawk to na caa o tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
Take your father and your families and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the richness of the land.'
19 Nangmah doeh nihcae khaeah hae tiah sak hanah thui paeh, a caanawk hoi a zunawk to lak hanah Izip prae thung ih hrang leeng to la nasoe loe, nam pa to angzo o haih nasoe.
Now you are commanded, 'Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
20 Hmuennawk to paawt o hmah, Izip prae thung boih ih kahoih koek hmuen loe nihcae hanah om tih, tiah a naa.
Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
21 To pongah Israel caanawk mah to tiah a sak o; Faro mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Joseph mah hrang leengnawk to a paek, to pacoengah loklam ah caak han ih hmuen doeh a paek.
So the sons of Israel did that. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
22 Nihcae boih han khukbuen kangtha to a paek, toe Benjamin loe phoisa cumvai thumto hoi khukbuen zung pangato a paek.
He gave to all of them, to each one, a change of clothing. But to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 Ampa hanah Izip prae thung ih kahoih koek hmuennawk to laa hrang hato pongah a phawsak, laa hrang amno hato pongah cang hoi takaw to phawsak pacoengah, ampa mah loklam ah caak han ih hmuennawk to a pat pae.
To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and food and provision for his father on the journey.
24 To pacoengah amyanawk to patoeh, nihcae doeh amsak o; loklam ah maeto hoi maeto angzoeh o hmah, tiah a naa.
So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
25 Nihcae loe Izip prae thung hoiah angthawk o tahang moe, ampa Jakob ohhaih Kanaan prae ah caeh o.
So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
26 Anih khaeah, Joseph loe hing vop! Izip prae ukkung ah oh, tiah a naa o. To naah Jakob loe palungboeng sut; nihcae to tang ai.
And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was unmoved, because he did not believe them.
27 Toe Joseph mah thuih ih loknawk boih a thuih pae o moe, anih phawh hanah Joseph mah pat pae ih hrang leeng to a hnuk naah ni, ampa Jakob loe poekhaih tha oh let vop.
But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
28 To naah Israel mah, Khawt boeh! Ka capa Joseph loe hing vop, ka caeh moe, ka dueh ai naah anih to ka hnuk han vop, tiah thuih.
Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
